Well Leicester is along way away so will have to risk it and sleep in my water proofs!!! I stayed up the forest 2 years ago in a single tent and it was bloody freezing! Also, I set up next to Elwyn and Chris Parrys caravan and damn didn't he snore!! So I couldn't get to sleep coz it was too cold and when I finally dropped off, Chris' snoring woke us up! But yeah it was a laugh at the late night Barbie and when that finished the walk back to the caravan in complete darkness was interesting I can tell you.

Humm well maybe a case of sleeping with the iPOD on!!! Sure will be fine. So the forest will be open/unlocked on saturday?? Does this 20min track lead to a clearing or something?

Does this 20min track lead to a clearing or something? There are little isolated pockets along the track you come across to set up in. The ground is a bit rocky so its pretty hard to get any pegs in in some places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Any news on entry list/riding numbers yet? Had a look on the club's website but nothing on there yet but not sure what closing date is/was. Start time in TMX was listed as 4pm... Are there really nearly 200 entries? I thought it was pre-entry only to cap the number of riders after last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
